Re: Looking for directions on how to backup The Bilestoad

I wondering if the same deprotection process  will work on The Bilestoad as these other Datamost games of the same vintage:

*************************************** 

MSG LEFT BY: RESET VECTOR

COPYA AZTEC!

AZTEC IS A GREAT NEW GAME FROM DATAMOST BY THE AUTHOR OF SWASHBUCKLER,
AND IT IS A LOT LIKE CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN.  IT CAN BE CRACKED INTO COPYA
FORM WITH GREAT EASE, JUST LIKE MOST OF THE DATAMOST STUFF.  IT ACCESS
THE DISK A LOT, SO THIS IS THE MOST PRACTICAL WAY TO CRACK IT:
BOOT SYSTEM MASTER
CALL-151
B925:18 60
B988:18 60
BE48:18
B942:18
RUN COPYA AND COPY THE DISK.
NOW USE A SECTOR EDITOR AND ACCESS TRACK 0 SECTOR 3 AND CHANGE BYTE 42
FROM 38 TO 18.  THAT'S IT!
KEEP ON CRACKING!
     ->RESET VECTOR!

***************************************

MSG LEFT BY: PARITY ERROR

TO KRACK THE MISSING RING (BY DATAMOST)
JUST:
RUN COPYA
CNTRL C
70
CALL-151
B942:18
3D0G
RUN 
EDIT TRACK 0 SECTOR 3 BYTE 42 TO AN 18
 
THEY CHANGED ONLY THE EPILOGS AND SYNC
BYTES IN RWTS.
